High prevalence rates of PV among school adolescents are reported in literature. Risk factors of PV include increased psychiatric disturbance, social maladjustment, and other internalizing problems. This study explores the prevalence of PV and describes its path to psychosocial wellbeing among Nigerian secondary school students. Cross sectional survey design, involving a purposive sampling technique was utilized to select 400 participants (Mean age =14.95) from four secondary schools in Osun State Southwestern Nigeria.
